Definition
A 'bouton' is a small object you press to control something (like a button on a machine or clothes). In medical usage, it can also refer to a small raised spot on the skin, like a pimple.
Usage & Nuances
In French, 'bouton' covers both 'button' (device or clothing) and 'pimple'. Be careful: in English, 'button' never means skin spot. The skin meaning ('pimple') is informal. On electronics, use 'press the button'. On clothes, use 'shirt button', etc.
